A true America First Policy.
A Naval/Economic/Strategic Policy to: Keep the EU and Australia as Core Allies, Negate China, keep Russia at minimum Neutral and thereby ensure American First is a policy not a slogan.
Thesis: America needs to look to its core vital interests:
1. A strong North Atlantic System of Treaties that ensure access to Europe make Greenland/Artic more generally a treasure chest and keep all involved strong, and wealthy.
2. A strong alliance system in the Pacific that ensures that Taiwan, Vietnam, Japan, Korea are a first line against Chinese expansionist, and that our core allies Australia and New Zealand have their own strong naval defense, trade, and defense are the key here. Strong allies make strong alliances.
3. Control of the Panama Canal, Straights of Magellan, and Pacific at least to Guam and the Atlantic to Europe is a vital interest, limited but absolute interests.
4. Western Hemispherical Domain: First among equals keeping Central and South America free of Chinese Marxist influence particularly. Monroe doctrine but without exporting debt.
5. Interior lines of supply, new industrial growth. We must have our own production of vital goods and our own secure supply of strategic materials.
To expound further --
1. North Atlantic.
Keeping any hostile power out of the North Atlantic, keeping, Canada, Iceland, Greenland/Denmark, Ireland, the UK, Scandinavia in a 'Northern Pact' that allows these Nations to be the Navy patrol force that keeps Europe's sea lanes open as far as Norway/Scandinavia. France can take over from there if they must.
Greenland's mineral wealth represents a major opportunity, but developing these resources requires overcoming complex technical, logistical, and environmental challenges. The USA needs to stop the bluster and develop this jointly with the EU nations and Canada. Make a consortium that shares, tech, skill, capital and profits.
Then if the USA was smart it would allow almost ALL those RRE to go to EU and be processed by UK, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, into value added items like magnets, batteries, chips, then passed on to France, Germany and Italy as parts. We would also ensure that enough OIL was shipped to keep Germany hedged against any Russian embargo.
This keep the EU as a PRODUCER whose currency is in fact pegged to ours, and that keeps US well supplied with quality value added products such that China, and Asia can be hedged against in the future -- this makes us all better off and is how you keep ALLIES on team.
Yes the USA would have to let say 80% of the profits slide -- but the 20% would still be at least cool trillion annually and the rest is invaluable as it keeps Greenland itself protected by a union of nations at ZERO extra cost to the USA.
This offers the possibility of bringing Russia on board for development of acetic jointly. Which ensures at minimum NUETRALITY if and when the China question comes to the fore. And it will sooner or later.
Russia is a buffer, and the EU, Aus/New-Zealand are the only viable 'offsets' we have for CHINA regarding industrial production of finished goods, that does not grow into a civilization rival -- America and the EU are one meta-cultural zone.
We have political not civilization rivalries. Russia needs to be our 'outer most' partner as they have been since IVAN IV.
2. Strong Alliances.
Core Allies. We need to further strengthen Australia, New Zealand with with naval assets that they can use to defend themselves from any future Chinese aggressions, to this end, Vietnam, Thailand, Taiwan, South Korea, Japan and Philippines must form a 'first nations' pact that says an attack upon ANY by China is an attack on ALL.
This will allow those nations to shoulder their own defense. We can leave Japan and Korea, they will have allies, and access to our markets.
That being said to ensure that China is contained we should, to a lesser extend we could build up Vietnam, Korea and Japan, and should as localized containment of their belt and road, particularly Vietnam et al, must be backed in the South China Sea. 3. Zones of Control.
Navy interior lines.
The Panama Canal must be controlled by and for the USA and our allies, and 'friends'. The Straights of Magellan must be closed to our enemies. We must be able to divide the seas into quadrants from our central location.
These combined as totality must be a central non-negotiable interest. What ever law that needs to be invented to make it 'legal' will be.
But no matter any other thing – Our sea lanes must be open to ensure contact with our allies, friends and trade partners at all times. USA must control as far as Midway but the rest of the Pacific is defector open to our trade, and to China too -- but only for so long as they attack none of their near neighbors Taiwan particularly.
Our allies must be encouraged to shoulder their own naval protection and to work jointly with the US Navy to find cost effective ways to keep the sea lanes open for their use.
4. Western Hemispherical Domain.
The USA must again become the civilizational 'axis' of rotation to both Europe and Australia/New-Zealand as well.
This is not a charity, nor is keeping Canada strong, Mexico secure, or building up central/south America some 'free' give aways or socialism -- those are investments in FUTURE OUTCOME.
The USA must look to the Western Hemispherical Domain first, then Europe and Australia/New-Zealand secondarily, then to the world more generally such that both America and its core allies are strong, productive and have first rate economies capable of sustaining high living standards and of defending those living standards from civilizational threats.
This will necessitate radical supply line restructuring -- but that will be over all long term good, since production of value added good, and the jobs, tax etc that goes with them, will be shifted to North, South and Central America, Europe, and Australia New Zealand as well as having redundant supplies sources in the First pact and EU itself.
As mentioned above supply lines for our allies and ourselves will be disrupted no doubts if China act aggressively -- but the USA and the listed allies are a block that no other power can match -- not even China -- we need only build up production in the USA, Canada, Mexico, Central and South America as well as in other allies to ensure that we have more insular value added trade economies as a result.
To do this The USA must ensure that central American and South American life is tolerable, such that folks will RETURN there willingly to be employed, this would be the master stroke. Defuse Marxist rhetoric with real world wages, quality of life, housing etc ... Give them jobs, give them a reason to at home. Ensure their home is not experience violence or period pillage.
Then the USA has access to a huge market of oil, gold, and most other things including food staples like beef and grains in abundance. All of this is far more America first than what is happening at current.
A feather in this policies hat would be to woo Russia by means of a settlement in Ukraine and on other outstanding issues to neutral in any conflict against the Chinese.
Same must be had with North Korea. Who can be brought in with industrial credits from the South not the USA.
In the Middle East the USA must radical break with the pro-Zionist policy to embrace a balance of power among Iran, Iraq, KSA, the other Gulf Monarchies -- the Zionists must be forced to allow a Palestinian state and to leave Syrian Golan.
Yes it would encounter opposition but until very late in the game they could be deluded into thinking they would be the ones to gain – since they will – until they don't. All lobbies have a time and place – that one is beyond its due date.
All of this coupled to wider use of Nuclear Energy, Clean innovative industry, and sensible but uniform regulatory limits will ensure that we can grow far beyond the shackles of these outdated 'deals' from after WWII, 1967, 1973 et al -- it is 2026 let us look forward.
